TOKYO, Japan - Executives of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan meet at the Diet building in Tokyo on March 1, 2011, to discuss disciplinary measures against 16 DPJ lawmakers who skipped voting on the budget plan for fiscal 2011 during a plenary session of the House of Representatives earlier in the day.
